Only Congress disposes with what the president proposes. If the two are one and the same, then let's not forget to also blame both.

I do blame both for poorly allocating spending to stimulate the economy; all the allocation is merely to a larger government. That approach never did any good for the Soviet Union.

The government must restrict itself to spending for things that only a government can do, and also must do. Everything else is pork barrel and money down the drain. In this, I do not include universal health-care proposals, but applaud them.

And, speaking of pork, the budget is so full of it that it makes Obama's promises a joke -- on us. Most of it will only stimulate a bigger government, which we should defer to a time of prosperity.
